Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coding equipment, and in particular to an automatic coding machine. Background Art

[0002] In the processing and production process of tobacco round bar products or products that also belong to round bar products, when faced with the step of adding product labels, they are generally marked by a marking machine. There are a large number of such products, and each one needs to be marked with a corresponding mark or code. Therefore, they rely on automated conveying equipment for continuous conveying, and send the products to the marking position along the established conveying route, and then add the mark or code.

[0003] Current coding and conveying equipment generally uses a conveyor belt to achieve continuous transportation of products. When the product reaches the set position, it slows down and stops and is coded synchronously, and then subsequent operations such as transportation are carried out; subsequent products are coded one by one by repeating the same steps.

[0004] The traditional processing process has some shortcomings, including:

[0005] 1. The accuracy of the equipment is low and the maintenance workload is large. Traditional equipment continuously transports products through conveyor belts, which cannot guarantee the accuracy of each stop position, affecting the coding effect; at the same time, high-frequency start and stop operations cause great damage to the equipment, shortening the life of the equipment, and further reducing the accuracy of the equipment after long-term use.

[0006] 2. Product storage and picking are not fast and accurate enough. Products are generally collected and stored by batch collection and stacking, and the simultaneous transportation of multiple products can easily cause product confusion. Traditional equipment cannot transport and transfer a single product, so it is easy to cause product bumps and damage, reducing the qualified rate.

[0007] It can be seen that there is still room for improvement in the current automatic coding machine, and optimization should be carried out to improve the automation level of the coding machine, in order to improve the accuracy of coding for a single product, and at the same time improve the control accuracy of the transportation and transfer of a single product, and improve the overall quality of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a more reasonable technical solution to solve the technical problems existing in the existing technology. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to overcome at least one of the defects mentioned above, the present invention proposes an automatic coding machine, which realizes orderly stacking and conveying of products by setting a product feeding mechanism, and conveys the products to the product feeding mechanism in sequence. The product feeding mechanism can transfer the products to the product conveying mechanism one by one and realize coding, and then convey them backward one by one for transfer and storage. In this process, the products can accurately stay at the designated position for coding, and are conveyed and transferred one by one, thereby maintaining the quality of the products, while also reducing the loss of products and devices and extending the service life of the device.

[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the automatic coding machine disclosed in the present invention can adopt the following technical solutions:

[0010] An automatic coding machine, comprising:

[0011] A product loading mechanism is used to store and transport cylindrical products. The product loading mechanism includes a conveying slope. The cylindrical products are stacked on the conveying slope and rolled downward along the conveying slope.

[0012] The product feeding mechanism is arranged at the end of the conveying inclined plane, and is used to feed the products one by one to the product conveying mechanism; the product feeding mechanism comprises a guide inclined plate, and a push head is arranged on one side of the guide inclined plate and is used to lift the product to the upper end of the guide inclined plate, and the product slides to the product conveying mechanism through the guide plate at the upper end of the guide inclined plate;

[0013] A product conveying mechanism cooperates with the product feeding mechanism and is used to receive and convey products one by one. The product conveying mechanism includes a circulating conveying chain, and a plurality of product slots are arranged on the conveying chain;

[0014] The coding mechanism comprises a coding seat and a coding terminal movably arranged on the coding seat, wherein the coding terminal is located above the product conveying mechanism and codes the products one by one;

[0015] The material-discharging mechanism comprises an action arm and a material-discharging rod matched with the action arm, wherein the material-discharging rod extends along the conveying direction of the product conveying mechanism, and the material-discharging action direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction, and a plurality of material-discharging teeth corresponding to the shape of the product groove are formed on the material-discharging rod;

[0016] The control mechanism comprises a controller, which is connected with the product loading mechanism, product feeding mechanism, product conveying mechanism, coding mechanism and material shifting mechanism to control their operation.

[0017] The above-disclosed automatic coding machine realizes the loading processing of the products to be coded through the product feeding mechanism, sends a number of products to be coded to the feeding mechanism for waiting, and the product feeding mechanism pushes them one by one to the product conveying mechanism, and can stack and convey the products one by one, and realize coding in the process of conveying, so that it can ensure that the products are not damaged in the process of conveying, and can also ensure the effect of coding, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the overall coding processing of the product, and can improve the yield rate.

[0018] Furthermore, the structure of the coding machine includes multiple parts, and its specific structure is not limited to a single part. Here, it is optimized and one of the feasible options is proposed: it also includes a frame, and the frame includes a base frame, a plurality of columns arranged on the base frame, and a sub-frame arranged on the frame. The columns are provided with a plurality of box panels and door to form a box structure, and the sub-frame is enclosed in the box structure. When the above scheme is adopted, the base frame, the columns and the sub-frame can all be made of profiles, and a stable frame can be formed by connecting and fastening. An observation window and a door handle can be provided on the door to realize the external observation needs and the need to open the door conveniently.

[0019] Furthermore, the sub-frame is used to connect several execution devices, and its specific structure and setting method are not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: the sub-frame is provided with a mounting slide groove, and the coding seat cooperates with the mounting slide groove and is used to adjust the mounting position, and the coding seat is fixed to the sub-frame by fasteners. When the above scheme is adopted, the coding seat can slide along the mounting slide groove to adjust its position, so as to adjust the coding position; generally, the sub-frame is placed horizontally and the coding seat is horizontally arranged on the sub-frame, and the horizontal height is kept unchanged when the coding seat slides to adjust the position.

[0020] Furthermore, the coding seat is used to drive the coding terminal to move and keep it at a set position for coding. The coding seat can be constructed in various forms, which are not limited to the only one. Here, we optimize and propose one feasible option: the coding seat includes a vertically arranged lifting seat and a horizontally arranged translation seat. The translation seat is matched to the lifting seat and rises and falls along the lifting seat, and the coding terminal is matched to the horizontal translation seat and moves back and forth along the translation seat. When the above scheme is adopted, the coding terminal can realize position adjustment in both horizontal and vertical directions, which can meet the coding needs of various positions.

[0021] Furthermore, there are many solutions for the lifting seat to achieve lifting, which are not limited to the only one. Here, we optimize and propose one of the feasible options: the lifting seat is provided with a lifting rail, the translation seat is matched to the lifting rail and moves along the lifting rail; the translation seat is provided with a translation rail, the dock is matched to the translation rail and moves back and forth along the translation rail. When the above solution is adopted, the lifting rail and the translation rail both include a track and a sliding seat provided on the track, wherein the translation seat is connected to the sliding seat of the lifting rail, and the dock is matched to the sliding seat of the translation rail, thereby realizing the lifting and translation of the dock.

[0022] Furthermore, in the process of translation, in order to ensure that the moving position is within the set range, the moving distance of the translation seat is detected. The specific method is not limited to a single method. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: a displacement monitoring component is arranged between the translation seat and the docking station. The displacement monitoring component includes a plurality of position monitoring probes and a sensing head that cooperates with the position monitoring probe. When the docking station moves and the sensing head is located at the monitoring position of the position monitoring probe, a sensing signal is generated, and the displacement data of the current docking station is generated. When the above scheme is adopted, the position monitoring probe is installed at least at the two end points of the moving range to detect when the docking station moves to the end points; at the same time, a plurality of position detection probes can be arranged between the two end points to monitor the position movement of the docking station in real time to ensure that the actual position of the docking station is understood.

[0023] Furthermore, the coding machine is operated through a control mechanism. Under the management of the control mechanism, the product loading mechanism, product feeding mechanism, product conveying mechanism, coding mechanism, etc. all operate in an orderly manner to realize the coding processing of the product. The control mechanism can adopt a variety of schemes, which are not limited to the only one. Here, it is optimized and one of the feasible options is proposed: the control mechanism includes an electrical cabinet, which is connected to the host and supplies power to the host, and also includes an interactive display, which is connected to the host for communication. When the above scheme is adopted, a number of electrical control devices are arranged in the electrical cabinet, and the host controls the operation of the electrical control devices by generating control instructions, and controls the operation of specific execution devices through the electrical control devices; the interactive display can adopt a touch screen, which can not only display the current operation status of each device component, but also realize control by inputting instructions.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to continuously operate the product coding, the coded products are transported backward and properly placed, and the product conveying mechanism is released, so that the product conveying mechanism can realize continuous conveying of the products. Here, the structure of the coding machine is optimized and one of the feasible options is proposed: it also includes a storage mechanism, which is arranged on the side of the product conveying mechanism to receive and store the products transferred from the product conveying mechanism by the material transfer mechanism. When the above scheme is adopted, the storage mechanism can realize temporary storage of the products, and the batch storage of the products can be completed through the action of the material transfer mechanism.

[0025] Furthermore, the specific structure of the storage mechanism can be constructed in various forms, which are not limited to the only one. Here, an optimization is made and one feasible option is proposed: the storage mechanism includes a support frame and a storage frame. The storage frame cooperates with the support frame through a lifting component and rises and falls along the support frame. The storage frame is used to stack products layer by layer. After the products are stacked on one layer, the storage frame descends along the support frame and continues to stack the second layer of products. When such a solution is adopted, the storage frame can realize continuous multi-layer stacking according to the action of the material picking component.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to stack products more neatly, the storage frame can adopt a variety of structures. Here, we optimize and propose one feasible option: an adjustment plate is provided in the storage frame, the adjustment plate is vertically arranged in the adjustment frame and slides with the storage frame, and the adjustment plate slides and translates along the storage frame to keep the end faces of the products neatly stacked. When the above solution is adopted, the adjustment plate can align the products, so when it is necessary to switch to stack products of different sizes, the adjustment plate can be adjusted to achieve the stacking of different products.

[0027] Furthermore, the structure of the product feeding mechanism can be constructed in a variety of forms, which are not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: the product feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame, which includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The bottom surfaces of the upper cavity and the lower cavity are both conveying slopes, and the product in the upper cavity moves downward along the conveying slope to enter the conveying slope of the lower cavity. When the above scheme is adopted, the upper cavity and the lower cavity of the feeding frame can realize the stacking of products respectively, and the product in the lower cavity is directly conveyed by the feeding mechanism, while the product in the upper cavity is supplemented to the lower cavity.

[0028] Furthermore, the internal structure of the loading frame is adjusted to achieve smoother product replenishment and avoid product accumulation affecting feeding. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: a baffle plate is provided in the upper space and / or the lower space, and the baffle plate is connected to the hinge shaft in the loading frame. An elastic member is provided at the hinge shaft and the elastic member applies an elastic force to the hinge shaft to deflect the baffle plate toward the blocking position; a toggle shaft is also provided in the loading frame and a rotary toggle head is provided on the toggle shaft. The rotary toggle head rotates with the toggle shaft and is used to toggle the baffle plate to the open position. When the above scheme is adopted, the baffle plate can block or release the downward conveyance of the product to avoid excessive accumulation of the product and meet the smooth movement and loading of the product.

[0029] Furthermore, when the tilt direction of the baffle plate is adjusted by the rotary toggle head, the composition structure of the rotary toggle head can adopt a variety of schemes, which are not limited to the only one. Here, optimization is made and one feasible option is proposed: the rotary toggle head includes a rotary crank arm or a rotary eccentric wheel, which is arranged on the toggle shaft and rotates with the toggle shaft and periodically pushes the baffle plate to open. When the above scheme is adopted, the rotary crank arm or the rotary eccentric wheel can periodically drive the baffle plate to open during operation, so that the product can pass through, thereby realizing continuous feeding of the product.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to drive the toggle shaft to rotate and realize the deflection of the baffle plate, it can be driven in a variety of ways. Here, optimization is made and one feasible option is proposed: a driver is arranged under the storage frame, and the driver drives the toggle shaft to rotate. When the above solution is adopted, the driver can use a driving motor to drive the toggle shaft to rotate.

[0031] Furthermore, the loading frame can be used to store products of different sizes. In order to facilitate the neatness when storing individual products, the structure of the loading frame is optimized and a feasible option is proposed: an alignment plate is provided in the loading frame, and the alignment plate is used to match one end of the product and keep the product flush as a whole. When the above solution is adopted, the plate is set vertically, which serves as the alignment position of the product to achieve neat stacking of the product.

[0032] Furthermore, the arrangement of the alignment plate can be constructed in a variety of forms, which are not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: the alignment plate is slidingly arranged in the loading frame, a sliding guide rod is arranged in the loading frame, and an alignment drive structure for pushing the alignment plate is also arranged, and the alignment drive structure pushes the alignment plate to move horizontally; the alignment drive structure includes a main drive rod, and the main drive rod is also connected to a plurality of auxiliary drive rods through a balance arm, and the auxiliary drive rods extend from the outside of the loading frame to the inside of the loading frame and are connected and matched with the alignment plate. When the above scheme is adopted, the alignment plate is moved by applying thrust through the alignment drive structure, thereby adjusting the alignment surface of the product. When different products are replaced for stacking, the position of the alignment plate can be adjusted accordingly.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to achieve better movement of the alignment plate and avoid interference with other structures in the loading frame, the structure of the alignment plate can be optimized. Here, one feasible option is proposed: an avoidance groove corresponding to the toggle shaft is formed on the alignment plate, and when the alignment plate moves back and forth, the toggle shaft is always located in the avoidance groove. When the above scheme is adopted, the avoidance groove can be constructed as a V-shaped groove, extending from the side of the alignment plate to the middle of the alignment plate; in addition to the necessary groove, an avoidance hole can also be provided, and the avoidance hole can be made to correspond to the interference structure in the loading frame.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the better outward transportation of products and avoid disordered outward transportation caused by product stacking, the structure of the loading frame can be optimized. Here, optimization is performed and one of the feasible options is proposed: a guide plate is also provided in the loading frame, and the guide plate includes a stop-jump guide portion arranged parallel to the conveying slope, and a loading guide portion connected to the stop-jump guide portion and bent upward, and the loading guide portion cooperates with the loading frame at the end of the loading frame to form an inclined discharge port structure, and when the product moves outward from the discharge port structure, it enters the subsequent product feeding mechanism. When the above scheme is adopted, the guide plate in the loading frame is connected and fixed to the inner side wall of the loading frame by fasteners, the stop-jump guide portion is a flat plate structure, and the loading guide portion is also a flat plate structure.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to facilitate timely observation of the product status in the loading frame and to clean up when there are too many products, the structure of the loading frame can be optimized. Here, one feasible option is proposed: one side panel of the loading frame adopts an openable movable panel, which is connected to the loading frame through a hinge structure and deflected toward the outside to open, and an operating handle for auxiliary opening is provided on the side panel. When the above solution is adopted, the side panel and the loading frame are connected through a hinge structure, so that the side panel can be opened outward, and the side panel can be operated more conveniently through the operating handle.

[0036] Furthermore, the product feeding mechanism is used to transfer the products of the loading frame to the product conveying mechanism, and the transfer of the products can be achieved through a variety of structures. Here, optimization is performed and one of the feasible options is proposed: the product feeding mechanism includes a guide inclined plate, which is used to guide the products to move upward; a push head used to push the products one by one, which moves back and forth along the guide inclined plate and pushes the products one by one; a feeding shaft used to drive the push head, and a crankshaft assembly is provided on the feeding shaft. When the feeding shaft rotates, it drives the crankshaft assembly to move synchronously and drive the push head to move. When the above scheme is adopted, the guide inclined plate limits the movement direction of the push head, and makes the push head reciprocate in the movement direction, thereby realizing the transfer of the product. Each time the crankshaft assembly drives the push head to move once, a product can be transferred to the product conveying mechanism, which ensures the single transfer of a single product, improves the accuracy of the transfer, and avoids product damage caused by product accumulation and backlog.

[0037] Furthermore, the product feeding mechanism can smoothly transfer the product to the product conveying mechanism, and its structure is not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: the product feeding mechanism also includes an outlet plate, and the outlet plate cooperates with the guide inclined plate to form a discharge port, and the push head pushes the product to the discharge port and then slides down along the outlet plate to complete the discharge. When the above solution is adopted, the outlet plate and the guide inclined plate form a certain angle, that is, the outlet plate tilts downward, so that the product slides down along the outlet plate to the product conveying mechanism.

[0038] Furthermore, the push head can be used to push and transfer the products one by one. The push head can be constructed into a variety of structures, which are not limited to the only one. Here, we optimize and propose one of the feasible options: the push head is provided with a push surface for matching the product, and the push surface forms a feeding angle with the movement plane of the push head. When the push head pushes the product to the discharge port and continues to move, the push surface pushes the product and makes it leave the discharge port. When the above solution is adopted, the push surface is used to push the product upward and apply lateral force, so that the product moves to one side and enters the product conveying mechanism.

[0039] Furthermore, the push surface can be configured in a variety of forms, which are not limited to the only one. Here, an optimization is made and one feasible option is proposed: the push surface includes an arc surface, and the upper edge of the push surface forms a separation structure, which is used to align the gap between two adjacent products and to separate and push the products one by one. When the above solution is adopted, the separation structure can be configured as a pointed structure or a thin sheet structure.

[0040] Furthermore, the structure of the push head can be constructed in various forms, which are not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one feasible option is proposed: the front end of the push head forms a plurality of separate push ends, and each push end forms a push surface. When the above solution is adopted, the push surfaces of the plurality of push ends act on the same product at the same time, pushing the same product.

[0041] Furthermore, the composition structure of the product feeding mechanism can adopt a variety of structures, so as to realize the transfer of products one by one to the product conveying mechanism. Here, optimization is carried out and one of the feasible options is proposed: the product feeding mechanism also includes a transmission plate, the transmission plate moves up and down along the guide inclined plate, one end of the transmission plate is connected and matched with the crankshaft assembly, and the other end is connected and matched with the push head. The crankshaft assembly drives the transmission plate to reciprocate synchronously, and the transmission plate drives the push head to reciprocate synchronously. When the above scheme is adopted, the transmission plate is constructed as a structure with adjustable length, and the upward position of the push head can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the transmission plate, thereby adjusting the feeding effect.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to improve the smoothness of the movement of the transmission plate on the guide inclined plate, an optimization is performed here and one of the feasible options is proposed: a guide track is formed between the transmission plate and the guide inclined plate, and the transmission plate and the guide inclined plate cooperate with each other through the guide track and reciprocate along the extension direction of the guide track. When the above scheme is adopted, the guide track is set on the guide inclined plate, and the number of guide tracks can be plural. The transmission plate is provided with a matching slide groove corresponding to the guide track, or a slider is provided corresponding to the guide track. The slide groove cooperates with the guide track, or the slider cooperates with the guide track, so that the transmission plate and the guide inclined plate can move smoothly.

[0043] Furthermore, the crankshaft assembly can adopt a variety of structures, which are not limited to the only one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: the crankshaft assembly includes a rotating arm fixedly connected to the feeding shaft and rotating synchronously, the free end of the rotating arm is hinged to the end of the swing arm, and the front end of the swing arm is hinged to the transmission plate. When the feeding shaft drives the rotating arm to rotate synchronously, the swing arm swings synchronously and pushes the transmission plate to reciprocate synchronously. When the above scheme is adopted, the cooperation between the rotating arm and the swing arm enables the swing arm to push and pull the transmission plate reciprocatingly, realizing the reciprocating movement of the transmission plate along the guide inclined plate, thereby realizing the successive pushing of products.

[0044] Furthermore, in some other schemes, the crankshaft assembly can also be constructed as other structures, which are optimized here and one of the feasible options is proposed: the crankshaft assembly includes a turntable fixedly connected to the feeding shaft and rotating synchronously, the turntable surface is hinged to the end of the swing arm, and the front end of the swing arm is hinged to the transmission plate. When the feeding shaft drives the turntable to rotate synchronously, the swing arm swings synchronously and pushes the transmission plate to reciprocate synchronously. When such a scheme is adopted, the function of the turntable is to drive the swing arm to reciprocate, and the use of a turntable can drive the swing arm more stably.

[0045] Furthermore, the product conveying mechanism is used to convey the products and separate them from each other to ensure the safety of individual products from being damaged. This conveying method can be achieved through a variety of schemes, which are not limited to the only one. Here, we optimize and propose one of the feasible options: the product conveying mechanism includes a conveying main shaft and a conveying secondary shaft, and a conveying chain is arranged between the conveying main shaft and the conveying secondary shaft. The surface of the conveying chain forms a product groove for fixing the product. When the above scheme is adopted, the conveying main shaft is the driving shaft and the conveying secondary shaft is the driven shaft. The conveying chain can be driven by the driving of the conveying main shaft, so that the product groove drives the product to move forward.

[0046] Furthermore, the structure of the product slot can be constructed in a variety of forms, which are not limited to a single form. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: the product slot includes a connecting bottom plate, and a first card plate and a second card plate are formed on the connecting bottom plate. The first card plate and the second card plate are both arc-shaped plates and are arranged opposite to each other to form a slot structure. When the above scheme is adopted, the first card plate is located in front of the second card plate in the direction of travel, and the upper edge of the second card plate is formed with a receiving edge, and the receiving edge forms an inner buckle structure toward the product slot. When the product is transferred from the discharge port to the product slot, the second card plate deflects upward from the horizontal position and gradually forms a blocking structure for the product to prevent the product from falling; when the product just reaches the product slot, the receiving edge forms a blockage to prevent the product from falling.

[0047] Furthermore, in the process of product conveying, in addition to coding, the products can also be counted synchronously. The specific solution is not limited to the only one. Here, we optimize and propose one feasible option: the product conveying mechanism also includes a counting device, and the counting device includes an infrared sensor, which is arranged toward the conveying product slot and counts the products passing through. When the above solution is adopted, the infrared sensor senses the products passing through one by one and generates a corresponding counting signal to complete the counting of the products.

[0048] Furthermore, the overall structure of the product conveying mechanism can adopt a variety of schemes, which are not limited to the only one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: the product conveying mechanism also includes a conveying frame, and the conveying frame includes a frame vertical plate for installing the conveying main shaft and the conveying secondary shaft, and a chain plate for supporting the conveying chain is formed in the frame vertical plate. When the above scheme is adopted, the conveying frame is supported by the structure of the column and the frame vertical plate, and the conveying main shaft and the conveying secondary shaft can also be limited in the longitudinal and horizontal directions through the frame vertical plate to prevent the conveying main shaft and the conveying secondary shaft from shaking.

[0049] Furthermore, the chain plate is used to cooperate with the movement of the conveyor chain and maintain the smooth operation of the conveyor chain. Its structure is not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: the chain plate includes an upper chain plate and a lower chain plate, and the upper chain plate and the lower chain plate are arranged in parallel and connected through a plurality of support frames. When the above scheme is adopted, chain grooves corresponding to the conveyor chain can be formed on the upper chain plate and the lower chain plate to ensure the smooth operation of the conveyor chain.

[0050] Furthermore, the conveyor chain on the frame plate may become loose in the length direction after operation, and maintenance and adjustment are required to keep the conveyor chain tensioned. There are many options for tensioning, and the structure is not limited to a single one. Here, optimization is performed and one of the feasible options is proposed: the frame plate is provided with a tensioning structure, the tensioning structure includes a tensioning plate that fits the frame plate, and also includes an adjustment component for pushing and adjusting the tensioning plate; the frame plate is provided with an adjustment shaft hole, and the end of the conveying sub-shaft protrudes from the adjustment shaft hole to cooperate with the tensioning plate. When the above scheme is adopted, the tensioning plate can be adjusted along the length direction of the frame plate, thereby driving the conveying sub-shaft to adjust its position and tensioning the conveyor chain.

[0051] Furthermore, the tension plate and the frame plate can be matched in a variety of ways, and the structure is not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one feasible option is proposed: the tension plate is also fastened to the frame plate by fasteners. When the above solution is adopted, the fasteners can be bolts.

[0052] Furthermore, there are multiple options for setting a conveyor chain between the conveyor main shaft and the conveyor secondary shaft. The conveyor chain can be set according to multiple structures, and its structure is not limited to a single one. Here, we optimize and propose one feasible option: at least two synchronous sprockets are correspondingly set on the conveyor main shaft and the conveyor secondary shaft, and each synchronous sprocket is connected to a conveyor chain, and multiple conveyor chains move synchronously. When the above solution is adopted, a connecting angle code is set on the conveyor chain, and the product groove is fixed with the connecting angle code by fasteners.

[0053] Furthermore, when multiple conveyor chains are provided, it is necessary to ensure the synchronization of the multiple conveyor chains. The synchronous structure of the conveyor chains can be realized through a variety of schemes, and the structure is not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: a synchronization plate is also provided on the conveyor chain, and the synchronization plate is arranged across the multiple conveyor chains, and the product slot is connected to the synchronization plate by a fastener. When the above scheme is adopted, the synchronization plate can be fixed with the connecting angle code on the conveyor chain, and then the product slot is fixed to the synchronization plate.

[0054] Furthermore, after the products are on the conveyor chain, they need to be guided and transported backwards in an orderly manner to facilitate subsequent material selection and storage. The guidance can be achieved through multiple structures, and the structure is not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: a guide plate is provided at the front end of the conveyor chain, and the guide plate extends along the travel direction of the conveyor chain. A guide surface is formed on the guide plate and is used to guide the product to a specified alignment position. When the above solution is adopted, the ends of the products on the conveyor chain are kept flush, and the material selection mechanism can quickly select and stack them when they are uniformly transported backwards.

[0055] Furthermore, when the loading frame of the coding machine cooperates with the push head, a variety of solutions can be used to avoid structural interference, especially when the push head has multiple push ends, its structure is not limited to a single one. Here, optimization is performed and one of the feasible options is proposed: the guide inclined plate of the loading frame is provided with a push port that cooperates with the push end. When the push end moves upward and passes through the push port, the push end contacts and pushes the product to move out. When the above solution is adopted, the push port is provided on the guide inclined plate of the lower chamber, and each push port cooperates with a push end, thereby avoiding interference in the action of the push end.

[0056] Furthermore, the product loading mechanism, product feeder and product conveying mechanism are all driven by a driver, and the driving can be realized through a variety of schemes, such as setting a single driver or multiple driver schemes. The structure is not limited to a single one. Here, an optimization is made and one of the feasible options is proposed: a driver is arranged on the frame, and the driver cooperates with the toggle shaft of the product loading mechanism and the crankshaft assembly of the feeding mechanism through a belt drive, and the linear speeds of the toggle shaft and the crankshaft assembly are the same; the driver also cooperates with the product conveying mechanism through a belt drive. When the above scheme is adopted, the driver adopts a motor, and a pulley is arranged on the motor shaft, and the pulley includes a first transmission belt groove and extends and is respectively wound around the toggle shaft and the crankshaft assembly, and also includes a second transmission belt groove and extends to the conveying main shaft of the product conveying mechanism.

The crankshaft assembly drives the transmission plate 17 to reciprocate synchronously, and the transmission plate 17 drives the push head 18 to reciprocate synchronously. When the above scheme is adopted, the transmission plate 17 is constructed as a structure with adjustable length. The position of the push head 18 moving upward can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the transmission plate 17, thereby adjusting the feeding effect. .

When the feeding shaft 12 drives the rotating arm to rotate synchronously, the swing arm 16 swings synchronously and pushes the transmission plate 17 to reciprocate synchronously. When the above scheme is adopted, the cooperation between the rotating arm and the swing arm 16 enables the swing arm 16 to push and pull the transmission plate 17 reciprocatingly, realizing the reciprocating movement of the transmission plate 17 along the guide inclined plate, thereby realizing the successive pushing of products.
